    Hey all. I’m just wondering if any of you have had a guy who rejected you first but then came back later taking back his decision? If he did, why?

    I think the rejection always come with the reason. Like I have broke up with my long-term boyfriend two weeks ago and even though in my heart I still love him and would like to be with him, I am NOT going to come back because I rejected him for a reason. COming back won’t do any good for the both sides.

    Its very RARE that a man will go back to a woman he rejected and would only do so if he truly LOVED HER but wasn’t in a position or mindset to make the level of commitment he needs to be in order for him to take that BIG step.

    Essentially, if he didn’t love you in the way he needs to love a woman in order to truly commit himself to her fully then he won’t return. If he wasn’t in a good place or right mindset but really loved the woman, then he may return but will do everything in his power to make sure you know it—anything less is a futile waste of time.

    Some men will try to hide or block those ‘lovin feelings’. They will date other women, may even get into a relationship in hopes it will go away but it doesn’t and finally ready to ADMIT to themselves and her that she’s the only woman he wants to be with. Again, this is very very RARE—I wouldn’t wait around or hedge any bets it will happen.

    What are the circumstances? Is this a guy you’ve been in a relationship with or someone you like and isn’t wanting the same? Is it someone who isn’t attracted to you in the same way or someone figuring other stuff out and isn’t wanting to get involved such as not long out of a marriage etc?

    It really depends on the circumstances. I had a guy who said no to further dating with me as I wasn’t in a in place where I wanted anything serious and he was, and he didn’t want to be dating someone who would date others. We said goodbye.

    A few months later and he popped me a text, and I was ready to exclusively date one guy the next so we did and had a fairly nice few months before we parted ways so it can happen…

    It depends on his position in his life and his attractions to you.

    I have found that unlike women, who often reject men in order to have them step up in some way to make the relationship better in order to be happier, men who reject you do it because they’re really just not interested in you anymore.

    yes, but they are usually 1. bored and 2. not worth responding to

    btw, i’m surprised people are saying this doesn’t happen normally? it has happened from almost ANY GUY I’VE EVER DATED, even just one date. men LIVE for the old “rummage through the old black book for any woman who has ever had an interest” shenanigans.

    This has happened in my experience, but they still have those same reservations (that may or may not have to do with you) and all it does it repeats the same pattern and normally nothing good has come out of it.

    I think its based on how one was ‘rejected.’ Unfortunately the OP didn’t describe how the rejection took place. Did they meet or date at all? Did they date for a few weeks or months? Was it Casual? Were they in a relationship? Engaged? Having no details I could only answer the OP’s question as to “WHY” a man would change his decision and come back.

    I agree that majority of men return for reasons other’s listed such as boredom, sex, ego boost, etc. However it does happen, men can and do change their minds; however one shouldn’t wait around or hope for something that has a high probability of never happening or failing if it was based on a bad break up.

    Having more information would definitely be helpful.

    The short answer, it generally only happens and works out the second time in the movies, but we need a lot more info to give an accurate opinion here.

    So true SugarKane. I think the romantic comedies have given young women an inaccurate view of relationships and what men are really willing to do to win a woman.

    I just saw there is a new program called The Proposal that is being produced by those who created the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Apparently a couple meets and at the end of the hour there is a proposal or not. Soon we’ll be seeing posts from woman going out on a first date upset that she didn’t get proposed to. (Emoticon with rolling eyes).

    Like Lane says, occasionally they realize they are “ready” but it’s pretty rare. It’s happened to me.

    Otherwise, it’s usually for the wrong reasons (you are “low hanging” fruit)

    I agree it is rare never happend to me until I met the guy I’m currently with long story short we were dating for a whole year and when it came into the end of the year I got ghosted for 3 months and then told we would speak soon then I was told I should move on, I had no intentions on moving so I just decided I’ll walk away and just focus on myself and he came back on his own and we are better than ever.

    I was with a married man for ten years i didnt know until i had been with him for one year, i was in love with him by that time, we met when we could and i thought he might leave his wife. Then he stopped seeing me but kept in touch , one day he said he had changed his mind and wanted me back and for the last three yars has been in contac with me every day by text and occasional phone calls , he maintains he loves me. I am in two minds about ever returning to the relationship we had but he still has a hold on me emotionally. and i am stuck in this place of not knowing what to do for the best and so have done nothing.

    May Oung,
    Walk away from him. You’ve already given enough years to a man who cannot commit to you. Go find someone who can. He’s out there, if you just look. Good luck.

    @May Oung… He is a cheeter. If he’ll do it for you, he’ll do it to you.

    How awesome for him!
    He gets to spend his life & share his bed with his wife & you get texts & phone calls…

    Please tell us why/how he keeps such a grip on you.

    Yes he did after 11 years. He wasn’t confident enough to be with me but admitted later on. I knew all that time that we share a very special connection, but we both tried to deny it until it wasn’t possible to fight it. We are really peaceful & happy, but i still don’t believe that i am with this person after fighting my feelings for such a long time. I have never met someone like him before, i feel so at ease
